Respiratory Viral Infections in Pediatric Transplantation

December 14, 2015 updated by: Duke University

A Multicenter Consortium to Define the Epidemiology and Outcomes of Respiratory Viral Infections in Pediatric Transplant Recipients

A retrospective cohort of solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients will be assembled to determine the incidence of respiratory viral infections diagnosed during an inpatient admission in the first year post-transplant. A sub-cohort of patients that develop a respiratory viral infection within one year of transplantation will be leveraged to investigate factors associated with mortality in the three months after respiratory viral infection.

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the study is to 1) Determine the incidence of respiratory viral infections diagnosed during the first year post SOT and HSCT; 2a) Determine the all-cause mortality within 3 months of a respiratory viral infection diagnosed during an inpatient admission in the first year post SOT and HSCT; 2b) Determine the proportion of deaths within 3 months of a respiratory viral infection diagnosed during an inpatient admission deemed to be directly attributable to that infection; and 3) To identify factors known at time of onset of the inpatient respiratory viral infection that are associated with all-cause mortality. The study cohort will consist of any SOT or HSCT recipient ≤18 years of age that received their transplant between January 1st, 2010 and June 30th, 2013. Th cohort will determine the incidence of respiratory viral infections diagnosed during an inpatient admission in the first year post-transplant. A sub-cohort of patients that develop a respiratory viral infection within one year of transplantation will be leveraged to investigate factors associated with mortality in the 3 months after respiratory viral infection. Baseline and demographic characteristics will be summarized by standard descriptive summaries. Categorical variables will be summarized by frequencies while continuous variables will be summarized using mean, standard deviation and/or median, twenty-fifth and seventy-fifth percentiles, minimum, and maximum. This is a minimal risk study using data that will be collected retrospectively from medical charts. The only potential risk would be loss of confidentiality.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study cohort will consist of any SOT or HSCT recipient ≤18 years of age that received their transplant between January 1st, 2010 and June 30th, 2013. Participants will have information collected from 30 days prior to transplant until the first of the following: 365 days post receipt of transplant, death, or loss to follow-up. If a patient has more than one viral respiratory infection of the same pathogen during the study period, then only the first infection will be considered unless isolated at least one month after the first positive test and only if after at least two negative tests for that same virus. A patient can contribute more than one viral respiratory infection if they are caused by different viral pathogens.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males or females age 0 to <18 years at the time of HSCT or SOT
  • Transplantation occurred between January 1st, 2010 and June 30th, 2013.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • None

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of respiratory viral infection
Time Frame: 1 year post transplant
Pediatric SOT/HSCT recipients who do not develop respiratory viral infection within 1 year following transplant
1 year post transplant

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
All-cause mortality of respiratory viral infection
Time Frame: 3 months after respiratory viral infection
Determine the all-cause mortality within 3 months of a respiratory viral infection diagnosed during an inpatient admission in the first year post SOT and HSCT.
3 months after respiratory viral infection

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Factors associated with all-cause mortality of respiratory viral infection
Time Frame: 3 months after respiratory viral infection
This tertiary aim will include just those patients that had an inpatient respiratory viral infection. The analysis will explore the association of factors known at time of onset of the respiratory viral infection with 3 month all-cause mortality
3 months after respiratory viral infection

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
